Jamie Hoffmann has shrugged off a slow May and is on a recent spree that has moved among the leaders in batting for the Pacific Coast League (AAA).

In his last 10 games he is hitting .425. For all of May his average was .400 after a .280 start in April.

Currently he stands 11th in league batting at .325, seventh in hits (39) and just one short of four ahead of him and the leader with 43. He is tied for 10th in doubles and stands sixth for triples. Although hes has only two home runs, Hoffmann ranks 12th in the league in total bases.

In the last 10 games, he's .450 against left-handed pitching and .415 when ahead in the count. With runners in scoring position Hoffmann is batting .387.

Those are good numbers, but in the 10 games he had three hits in three games and two in three others. Even more impressive is his last seven games when he has gone 15 for 29.

Albuquerque plays again Wednesday night in Colorado Springs.
